I was wondering what would be louder, stacks or my pipe out the back. All the trucks that I hear with stacks are not very loud. Doesn't matter if it has 5 inch stacks or 8 inch stacks I still think my 4 inch exhaust pipe out the back it louder. Any help would be nice. Thanks

 

only reason a stack "seems" quieter is because the sound is aimed up not directly towards you like a normal exhaust. After putting the stack on my 95, I would never have a stack on a DD

 

But when they are 100 yards away the out the back exhaust it way louder.

And does anybody know where I can get a front in replacement grille guard for my 2001 dodge truck.

 

lmc truck has them not sure the price

 

When sound goes vertical it is quieter. When sound goes horizontal it is louder. Doesn't matter the size of the pipe.

 

Having the tip of the exhaust extend past the rocker panel of the bed will help. Get the sound out from under the body, essentially.

 

So your kinda saying stacks for looks and pipe out the back for loudness.

 

In my experience, stacks are only quieter if you put them at least a foot above the cab. My buddies 06 had a straightpipe on it and after we put stacks on it the cab was pretty noisey

 

agreed my pickup is so loud in the cab cause of my stacks on the interstate its unbearable if i redid my exhaust id run it out the back stock exit with a muffler but thats me im turning into an old man im searching for a way to muffle my stacks anyway just my two bits

 

i had a 5 inch mitre cut stack flush with my cab and it was so loud and abnoxious i had to take it off, i have 4 inch out the side and it is just as loud. without a muffler, ALL dodges are rediculous and stupid loud!
